He's not a 3-4 NT, that's a fact. He might be able to learn it, but as of right now, he's a 4-3 NT. You countered that fact by saying that you thought he could overcome it with his strength. I only said that if those scouts were correct and he does lack lower-body strength, it will be HARDER for him to be a 3-4 NT, not easier.
My personal opinion is that I don't know what these guys are capable of, but considering how mightily they struggle with Gunther's base defense, I'm inclined to NOT pile on anything else for them to get confused with.

Cool. I really don't know if he can pull it off or not, but instinct tells me he can. He definitely has the size and strength to man the position. I agree, he could struggle early on as a NT, but I believe with added reps he could become a solid NT. Will it work? I don't know, but I'm hopeful he can make the transition because with our speed at LBer, I think it's a good idea to have the 3-4 package as an option and I see Junior as the long-term candidate for NT.
